N. Plainfield Native Launches Clothing Line To Inspire Others

NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ — Aaliyah Nicole, was living in North Plainfield as a young mom, when she helped put together a clothing drive to help victims of Hurricane Harvey last year.

Now she is looking to inspire others through her new clothing line.

Nicole, 21, has since moved into her first apartment in Edison and launched her own business called “Boss Brand” in February.

“It is not only a clothing line but an inspirational line to encourage everyone to ‘turn their passion into a profit and invest in it,’ ” said Nicole. “I am working extremely hard to make my vision come to life.”

Nicole, is a mother of a two-year-old daughter and works full time. She noted how she tried college but it didn’t work out for her. She had always been interested in starting her own business but high school never covered how to go about doing that.

Taking her passion for fashion, Nicole took the plunge and launched her own line. She sketches and draws out her own designs then has them printed on hoodies, shirts, etc.

Her business has been a success since launching it and she is now trying to give back to the community by hosting business workshops, women empowerment seminars and coaching lessons on how to start your own small business.

“The classes are for those who would like to create a business but do not know where to start,” Nicole said.

She is hosting an upcoming “Take Action” seminar on Saturday at noon at 117 Truman Drive, in the community room in Edison. For information and tickets click here.
